Mood: too tired to tell
Music: Celtic folk (at the moment- No Frontiers by Mary Black, but whatever comes on the station)

Too exhausted to think of a real subject of conversation. Apologies to those who actually read my site. Thanks for stopping by. Do come again. ;)

Mood: mildly nervous energy(you know, that feeling at the start of the day that you want to do something, but you don't know what)
Music: Lionheart by Angels of Venice

According the the Gothic calendart today records the death of two important figures of history of mythic proportions: King Arthur and Joan d'Arc. Of Arthur's death at the battle of Camlan and his transport at the hands of the three women to Avalon I know a fair deal, my knowledge of joan's death on the pyre leaves something to be desired. She seems to becoming serendipitous as of late so mayhap its time to delve into her lore. I have books that certainly mention her, but she's something pretty much glossed over before moving on to the next subject. Whether she was Christian or pagan seems to be an issue of contention based on what text I read as well, and and issue of contention in her own life as well. Too many sources seem biased. How do i find the one that's not and know it?

Mood: releived
Music: nevermind, not worth mentioning

So the pangs of hunger enter my consciousness, and I wonder why I'm still sitting here at the keyboard clicketing away at letters to put forth some semblance of a statement into the record of my day. Of course, i don't know of what sort of food for which it is that I crave, but I do know that its time to feed the cats as they so pointedly reminded me. At least it makes them more affectionate, e'en playful, but now I'm hungry too, and here I go.

Music: Finale from The Abyss sndtrk by Alan Silvestri

Of all the mornings to forget my allergy medication why did I have to do it on the morning I work in the chicken room? That breader is horrible on the sinouses! I spent the last two hours of my shift working and blowing my nose. No fun. At least I got my car tune-up taken care of. One less issue to worry about.

Mood:amused
Music: The Masquerade Suite by Aram Khachaturian

So my mother and girlfriend got into a religious discussion last night and were worried that I'd be offended by their discussion. Oh! contrere, mon frere (sp?) Im usually rather intrigued by such discussions, even if I do disagree with both parties. Just because I disagree doesn't mean I'm going to be offended. Okay, a couple of things Mom said got me a lil offended, but it was about her wanting to convert me. As long as she stayed off of that subject it was interesting. Meanwhile, poor Dad is bored to tears over it. Needless to say, despite the fact that I'm an atheist and Taryn's Pagan I was rooting her on. It wasn't really a winner/looser debate though, it was more like an open forum, and that's what was good about it. I probably should have contrubuted more to it, but there was enough being thrown out to bother with a third P.O.V. Taryn seemed to be defending me at one point by saying that even those people who chosen to believe in nothing have at least chosen something to believe. I don't exactly believe in nothing per se. "We are each of us gods and goddesses unto ourselves" is something of a credo that I've developed. I'm not trying to deify myself, at least not in the literal sense. I'm not on some megalomanical kick here. Metaphorically we all should take on the responsibility to the world, our community, our ecosystem, each other as god(desse)s. I grant you I'm hardly a good example of what I'm preaching here, but its an ideal by which to live. I think that psychologically people feel a need to believe in God/Goddess, or a pantheon of gods/goddesses because it takes responsibility away from the believer. "Take my sins away, God. you take it, not me." No, I say forgive yourself. Be responsible for your own sins, but work your way through the guilt, learn, and grow. That is what I believe is truly healthy.

Music: unavailable

Sometimes I just get to that point where I don't know who to trust anymore.
